For those who don't already know him, Jean-Marc Jancovici is an interesting person (Bio ). He was enrolled by the former French government to give his views on Greenhouse gases (causes, solutions etc). His views involve a lot of numbers. He basically indulges in very detailed analysis of particular environmental issues.
You may agree or disagree with him, but whatever you do at least you'll have to agree that the questions he asks are worth answering.
Here is the link to some of his computations. (in French here)
Here is another link (in French here), this time answering all sorts of questions on Global Warming.
You'll find some typical questions he answers below the fold. They are often based on French models and data, but generally apply universally.
